Vietnam visa for Uruguayan citizens – A guide to getting approved without issues

Uruguayan citizens are required to obtain a Vietnam visa before travelling. However, many travellers are unsure how to apply for a visa with a high success rate. This guide will walk you step by step through the process of applying for a Vietnam visa under standard processing or speed up the process to receive your visa within 1–2 working days, or even just a few hours.

Step 1: Prepare high-quality photos

You can begin by preparing a clear, high-quality scan or photo of your passport and a recent portrait photo.

• Passport copy: You can use your phone camera, but make sure the image clearly shows all four corners of the main passport page. The photo must be free of glare, shadows, or any fingers/objects covering the information;
• Portrait photo: Must be taken within the last 6 months on a plain light background, with no hat or glasses. It should not be cropped from your passport photo or re-taken from an old picture – a fresh, original photo is required;
• File format and size: Save both files in JPG or PNG format, each under 3 MB, ready to upload to the visa portal.

Providing high-quality, correctly formatted images will help prevent delays or rejection of your visa application.

Step 2: Gather accurate personal and travel information

In addition to your passport and photo, Uruguayan applicants must prepare accurate details for the visa application form, including:

• Your contact information: Permanent address, telephone number, and active email address.
• Emergency contact information: The name, address, and telephone number of a person who can be contacted in case of emergency.
• Accommodation details in Vietnam: The name, address, and telephone number of the hotel or place where you will stay (if staying at multiple locations, provide the details of your first night’s accommodation).
• Previous visits to Vietnam: If you have entered Vietnam within the last 12 months, list each entry with the specific dates of arrival and exit.

Providing complete and accurate information helps ensure your visa application is processed quickly and without delays.

Step 3: Make payment

You can pay the visa application fee with a valid credit card or bank wiring transfer. Please note that the fee of 25 USD (for a single entry visa) or 50 USD (for the multiple entry visa) to the Vietnam Immigration Department is non-refundable, even if your visa is denied or your application contains errors.

When the Uruguayan applicants choose our rush visa service or existing visa application speed up service, you can pay conveniently via PayPal or WISE. In these cases, the service fee is refundable – we guarantee a full refund if your visa is not delivered within the promised timeframe.

Step 4: Check your visa information carefully

Once you receive your visa, carefully review all information to ensure it matches exactly with the details in your passport. Any discrepancy, typo, or mistake — except where a long name has been shortened in accordance with the ICAO line — can cause the visa to be rejected at check-in and prevent entry to Vietnam.

Should you identify any inaccuracies on your visa, you are advised to promptly submit a new visa application and notify our team immediately to speed up the visa process. We will assist in expediting the processing to ensure that the corrected visa is issued in time for your scheduled flight.
